I find it strange that all of sudden Joe Flacco is playing at such a high level and now considered a great QB compared to the best in the leauge.

Doesn't everyone remember when he sucked for so long? I remember watching him on primetime not being able to make any plays, just sitting in the pocket like a tool with that classic dumb deer in the headlights look game after game throwing picks and inaccurate balls.

And there I am cursing at the tv why did I back Joe Flacco?

Remember all the Joe Flacco sucks threads all over this board constantly? Now he is greatness just like that. He has the same players he had last year so it begs the question: why is he all of a sudden so great?

The only variable I see is the Ravens brought in a new offense coordinator halfway through the year so maybe somehow he got into Flacco's head and flipped a switch..

From Joe Fucco to Joe Flacco what a turnaround this guy has had it is truly baffling and I'm surprised no one else has brought that up.

Ok, I'll make this quick. Before the last 2 games where he has thrown 8 Tds and 0 INts.

- In 5 seasons, he has thrown 103 TDs, and 56 INTs

- Has been in the playoffs every year

- Had 4 playoff road wins

- Would have 5 playoff road wins, and a superbowl trip if Lee Evans can catch a pass.

He didn't just wake up one day and become great, he has been good his entire career and is finally taking the next step. He has been victimized his playoff career by play calling.

Most elite QBs don't have a run game, so they are given the green light to drop back 40 times a game and get in a rhythm. Brees, Rodgers, Manning, Brady, Marino to name a few. Flacco has always had a good run game, which may seem to be a blessing but it is also a curse. It is tough to get in a rhythm when you run the ball 60% of the time. Flacco's time has arrived and he has a vice grip on it.

a. they got rid of cam cameron, his chuck knox like playcalling absolutely held this team down for a long time.

b. they inserted bryant mckinney to sure up an offensive line that wasn't very good at times this year.

c. He has great weapons now. Make no mistake flaccos receivers are amazing. He's got two burners in jones and smith that stretch the field. He's got the best posession receiver in the nfl in boldin. And he has ray rice pierce and pitta.

That being said i expected much more pressure put on flacco by the niners, but for whatever reason they seemed tentative to blitz, and often when they did he was still able to elude the rush.

The ravens won this superbowl because of special teams and their offense, and yes because of flacco. I know ray lewis will try to make it about him and that goal line stand, but that was more a product of horrific playcalling by the niners.
